Notes

Studio recording for 'Interdimensional Summit' (2018), rhythm/riff section. Gear inferred from artist's studio era and visible gear in interviews/photos for this album. No direct studio session documentation found for this specific song, but Blackstar Series One and Randall V2 are repeatedly cited as Dimmu Borgir's main amps for this era. ESP LTD Okkultist with EMG pickups is Silenoz's main guitar for this album cycle.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight, fast palm muting and precise alternate picking at a medium-fast tempo, with syncopated rhythms typical of modern symphonic black metal. While not extremely technical, it demands accuracy and stamina.
